Doing business.
Entrepreneurs – in all possible forms; from actors to CEOs – giving their business cards to potentially do business. Here are a few standout business cards from entrepreneurs who eventually became famous.
1. Steve Martin: Actor and Producer
As an actor and producer you are of course also an entrepreneur (freelancer). You sell yourself.
The signature is a nice idea, but the text does it. Memorable business card.
2. Mark Zuckerberg: Facebook
Founder & CEO of Facebook.
The card stands out because of that one word. Mark Zuckerberg certainly dares to be different from the rest in terms of content.
The card itself is otherwise pretty standard.
3. Bill Gates: Microsoft
Founder & CEO of Microsoft.
Who doesn’t know Bill? He is one of the most famous entrepreneurs in the computer revolution and one of the richest persons in the world.
The signature gives a nice, personal touch to the business card.
4. Steve Jobs: Apple
Founder & CEO of Apple
Of course, the Apple icon stands out. But otherwise it’s just a boring business card. You can expect more from a company like Apple.
5. Walt Disney: Disney
Founder of Disney.
His business card stands out because of the drawing, which immediately tells what he is doing.
6. Chuck Jones: Warner Bros
Chuck Jones was an animator for Warner Bros. The drawing immediately shows what he is doing. A striking card that you will certainly remember.
7. Andy Warhol
Andy Warhol was a creative visual artist. Best known for his paintings that give an art sauce to well-known images (such as the Campbell’s Soup Cans). Warhol was anything but ordinary. And his business cards too.
8. Houdini
The magician and buoy king has a business card with a different shape. This was certainly unique for that time!
And in the text he praises his new show. Cleverly done.
9. Jonah Hill
Actor Jonah Hill is known for, among other things, Wolf of Wall Street, 21 Jump Street. Instead of signatures, he hands out this business card. Daring, but for the comedian that works out well.
